Tacking Point Lighthouse
Whale watchers and other visitors to Tacking Point Lighthouse agree on one thing; this lighthouse is well worth a visit when your travels take you to Port Macquarie, Australia! Tacking Point Lighthouse, the third oldest lighthouse in Australia, was built in 1879. It still stands, a little the worse for wear, on the same rocky promontory where it was constructed so long ago. If this lighthouse could talk, just imagine the stories it could tell!
A lighthouse was sorely needed here in the early and mid 19th century. This was because there were no roads, and the railways were in their infancy. The only pathway for goods and services seemed to be the sea. More than twenty ships ended up wrecking because there was no light to guide them to shore.
With all of this in mind, two men with the last names of Shepard and Mortley constructed Tacking Point Lighthouse in 1879. James Barnet was known for his lighthouse designs, and Tacking Point was the fourth in a group of five lighthouses that were constructed by using his design. The design created a small lighthouse, but one that was large enough to accomplish the task for which it was intended.
Since the Tacking Point building site was situated on a hill, it was already so high that the lighthouse only needed to stand around eight meters. Cement rendered bricks were used in part to improve the water resistance of the lighthouse, and because this method of construction tends to be quite strong.
Tacking Point was lit by the use of oil-fuelled lamps with wicks until around 1919. This fixed, white light could be seen miles away. At this point in the history of Tacking Point, several lights that flashed were used, fuelled by automatic acetylene operation. When the automation went into effect, the loyal men who had operated the lighthouse by keeping the lamps filled with oil and the wicks trimmed were no longer needed. A job that had been filled for forty years by men who were devoted to the lighthouse was now defunct.
By 1920, the lighthouse was automated. The acetylene was used until 1974, when electricity began to be used for the light. If you look closely, you can see the foundation of the house where the lighthouse keepers once lived.
The view from the lighthouse is spectacular. To the North, you can see another lighthouse called the Smoky Cape Lighthouse. To the South, you can see the Crowdy Head lighthouse. The craggy, rocky outcrops, or rock layers, are spread at the bottom of the hill, directly next to the ocean. They are quite a remarkable sight. And of course, the view of the city of Port Macquarie is breathtaking! You are able to see along Lighthouse Beach, all the way down to North Brother Hills and even Bonny Hills.
Tacking Point Lighthouse is open year round during daylight hours. When you are on holiday at Port Macquarie, do take the time to visit Tacking Point and Lighthouse Beach.
